Chapter 438 - 439 The Outbreak of People’s Resentment
Where did all my money go?
I was so rich and spent money like dirt. I always bought a flying car and smashed a car. I always chartered a hotel for a meal. That's how rich I have to spend. This kind of expenditure does not see my money becoming less. Instead, it has been getting more and I can't spend it all the time. But now even if I eat coarse grain, I can't save any more. I tried my best to make money, but the money is still getting less and less, and it can't be accumulated at all.
What's the problem? Why is it like this?
This is a question in the hearts of ordinary Selin people who don't understand economics. This question has been bothering them. The empire did not break the financial bubble, but wanted to slowly resolve it. The impact would be much smaller, but even the ordinary Selin people on these two planets are still very uncomfortable.
Imagine that when a person works hard for a day and coughs up blood, he turns around and finds that he not only doesn't make money, but also loses a lot. He can only spend the rest of his life in the days of owed money, owed money, and owes money. What kind of depressing gloomy is that, compared with the previous one before? There is a sharp contrast in just three years.
No one doubts the empire. People who know a little inside and understand economics naturally understand the crux of the problem. However, as early as they expressed their financial opinions, they were checked by the relevant departments of the empire. I have to say that the control of public opinion like the empire has done a good job.
But this is also a bad move. The more you trust the empire, the more you will feel angry after realizing that the root of your poverty comes from the empire, just like being stabbed in the back by your most trusted best friend.
Everything has been clearly arranged. Amoeba dug a big pit, and the empire took the initiative to jump into the pit.
In the interview, the Amoeba messenger talked about the question of the Selin people, which focused the public's vision on the construction subsidy.
The public knows that the root cause of the significant increase in their own economic income comes from the construction subsidies of Amoeba. They do not know the internal operating mechanism of the economy, but this does not prevent them from knowing about this matter from other economists. Because of this, the Thurin people on the two colonial stars collected the visit to the comic exhibition. Their attitude has changed from cold-eyed rejection at the beginning to a warm welcome. The attitude is surprisingly good. After all, in a sense, Amoeba is equivalent to their food and clothing parents - customers! It's also God!
There are also some Selin people with some brains. Because of the secret means of the empire, coupled with the guidance of public opinion and the loyalty of the people to the empire, these people take it for granted that the economic decline on the colonial star is due to the amoeba cutting the export quality of construction subsidies, which is why it leads to the colonial star economy. The continuous downwards.
These people don't have much complaints about this. To put it bluntly, Amoeba's construction assistance is to give a large amount of resources. There is no difference between giving money for nothing. It's like giving alms to beggars. If there is less alms, can the beggars still blame the give less money? Obviously not! They are not qualified for this!
It is also because of this group of brain-minded Selin people that the people's constant poverty are temporarily suppressed. Because of this effect, the empire is happy to be active in public opinion and reduce the pressure on the empire.
Unfortunately, the empire is wrong. These people will soon change from the defenders of the empire to the rebels of the empire. This group of people are the most loyal empire among the people, and will also be the most rebellious group - the deep love and hatred, which is probably the reason.
These people learned from the talk program about Amoeba's expansion of export quality, which is not consistent with their initial conclusion. This means that there are other reasons for their poverty.
Then - the resentment that had been suppressed for a long time suddenly broke out.
"Who made us so poor!"
"Who made us so indebted as we are now!"
"Get out! I promise I won't kill him!"
Public opinion is full of such voices. In a civilization, the masses are the root of power. Previously, they have been guided by public opinion and diverted their attention. Now it is different. They notice the key points of the problem, and it is not the Amoeba that makes them poor.
There has never been a shortage of talents among the people. It doesn't matter if they don't know economics. They can learn from the beginning. Anyway, there is no shortage of knowledge books on economics. Soon, some people followed the financial context and found that the quality of obtaining resources and the export of Amoeba is seriously unequal.
The ordinary Selin people of the two colonial stars corresponded with each other, comparing the sum of the resources obtained by the two sides with the export quality given by Amoeba. The result is clear at a glance. The fools can see that they can see that they can expand the export quality by five times, not even have 1% of the original total resources.
Such data further leads to a question - where did such a huge amount of resources go?
At this time, some people began to doubt the empire, which was a natural and clear result. When the empire did not intervene, the economy of the two colonial stars took off rapidly in just a few years, and after the intervention of the empire, the economy has been slowly declining, year by year.
In addition, before the Amoeba construction assistance, the colonial star applied for the resources of the empire, which had been looking for reasons to prevaricate, saying that the resources were insufficient.
It's understandable that the resources are not bad. After all, Amoeba put a lot of military pressure on the empire. needs resources in many places, but the empire does not give technology and talents, which leads to the slow development of colonial stars. What about a group of people with bare hands? Fast-paced development of a wild planet?
This is obviously difficult! historical
Now that it has not been developed, it has come out again. Together with the new hatred and old grievances, the people's grievances of the two planets have naturally appeared. I vowed to thoroughly investigate to find out where these resources have gone and who made them so poor.
The marches, demonstrations and conspiracy theories were popular, and all the clues pointed directly to Celine, and the people asked the empire to allow the investigation team on their two planets to return to Celine to investigate the flow of these resources.
The result was naturally rejected by the empire. The empire said that it attached great importance to this matter and took the interests of the people as the leader, and would set up a professional investigation team to conduct a intensive investigation.
Such an official announcement diluted the people's grievances to a certain extent, and the empire quickly launched a high-ranking official of the empire with serious corruption, and then tying up all the pots.
Although this damages the reputation of the empire to a certain extent, it also retains the reputation of the empire to the greatest extent. The people will think that anyone in the world can make mistakes. It is normal for one or two corrupt officials to come out of such a huge system like the empire, but they are more unlucky to encounter.
Therefore, the empire threw out a poor corrupt official and solved the matter perfectly.
But this is just the beginning.
